About this property

Complete house in the old town near the beach - sunny rooftop

Enjoy your “home-office” in Crete or your holidays:
Here you can stay apart and be in the old town near the sea.

Our 2-storied family house will be exclusively inhabited by you and offers a private entrance. It is located in the picturesque and lively historic centre of Rethymno with its Venetian and Turkish architectural styles, while the sea is literally just around the corner.
Here you can enjoy authentic Greek neighbourhood living in a well-tended, comfortable environment where we kept dear old elements and furniture and combined them with modern life-style equipment and amenities. This balance between old and new adds a special charm to our house which we equipped with loving attention to the detail.
The indoor space measures 90m2, distributed on two floors, plus big roof terrace.
From the ground floor, stairs lead up to the first level where the bright living area with sofa, Smart-TV, radio/CD-player, air-conditioning and Internet access are. The large space invites you to linger, and from the balcony you can watch what is going on in the original and lively neighbourhood. Next to the dining area you will find the open kitchen, which is well equipped with fridge, cooking facility including oven, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, toaster and juicer. On the same floor you will also find a WC with washing machine.
The 2 air-conditioned bedrooms as well as the fully equipped bathroom with bathtub and WC are located on the second floor. The bedroom facing the street is equipped with two twin beds (90x200cm), which can be used as a double bed on request, air-conditioning, a writing desk and provides a balcony. The other bedroom to the back of the house has a double bed (160x200cm), air-condition, a private veranda and access over an iron staircase to the large roof top with view to the Venetian fortress “Fortezza” and the sea.
The roof terrace is a great place to relax in the open and is equipped with an umbrella, 2 sun beds and dining table.
For the few colder days of the year, we provide radiator and fan heaters as well as air-conditioning.
Bath towels and linen will be provided.
You reach the long sandy beach, which has been awarded with the Blue Flag, in a short 5-minute walk. The Venetian Harbour, other sights, museums, small shops, supermarkets, cafes, taverns, restaurants and bars can be found in the immediate vicinity which may be audible on the side facing the street.

We do our best to protect your health and have adapted our cleaning to the new requirements.
Furthermore, a self-check-in and -out without our presence can be arranged.

Awesome location
This house was amazing. We totally loved everything about it. I would highly recommend it. The owner was sweet and kind, as were all the people in Greece. Everybody's honest and kind. We drove right to the door dropped off bags and then parked the car at the marina very close by. This is definitely the place to stay in Crete. We were in Athens, Leros, Santorini, and several small Islands including Patmos, but I think this one was top on the list. All of Greece is Very safe, no guns which coming from the USA was a pleasant experience no crime. Everything's within walking distance. Lots of shopping right outside your door one street over probably 50 wonderful places to pick to eat. We also had a fun Excursion with the jet skis only a couple blocks away. It was just fabulous thank you so much to our host.

Beautiful place right in the town of Rethymno. And only a 5 minute walk to the beach.
Great place right in the heart of the town. Could walk everywhere and only 5 minutes from the beach, great restaurants and shops all around. Two balconies and a rooftop deck were great for relaxing and eating together. The restaurant directly across from the apartment does play music into the evening which can be faintly heard in the bedroom closest to the street, but with shutters closed, it is faint. Katja was a great host and came by to provide us with a list of places to visit and restaurants to try, which was very helpful! Truly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back!

A wonderful apartment in Old Town Rethymno
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Katja’s apartment. The location was awesome - 5 mins to the beach, on a street that closed in the evening just to pedestrians, walking distance to all the sites in Old town. We felt very comfortable walking around area as it felt very safe - even let the kids go out and explore on their own! The apartment itself was even better than the pictures showed - very clean and well set up with the little things you need. We really enjoyed the roof top terrace for the views - in the early morning to see the sunrise over the marina and in the late afternoon/evening for enjoying a glass of wine or dinner. Katja and Michalis were excellent hosts, very easy to contact both before and during our trip. The apartment was a perfect home base for our Crete experience and would recommend it to anyone who is considering staying in this area.

Perfect location. Tasteful decoration.
We arrived to carafe of local wine, fresh fruit, and small sample of local raki. Host was very patient in directing us to location via, phone, text and email as we drove into town. She provided excellent restaurant recommendation. We were able to work off much Greek food and drink negotiating stairs. Great balconies and roof top terrace. Also provided good map of town and region with personal notations of places to see and eat so we could make the most of our 5 days.
